The formed products are,

Step by step solution

01

Definition of E1 reaction

E1 reaction is an elimination reaction where formation of stable carbocation happens prior to the breaking of C-H bond. Stability of the carbocation increases the rate of the reaction. It is a two-step reaction.

The product of E2 and E1 becomes same just the transition state and the reaction pathway become different. So, the product in case of E1 mechanism will be same as products from E2 mechanism.

Would you expect methoxide ion to be a better nucleophile if it is dissolved in CH3OH or if it is dissolved in DMSO? Why?

Why is a cumulated diene not formed in the reaction shown below?

a. Draw the structures of the products obtained from the reaction of each enantiomer of cis-1-chloro-2-isopropylcyclopentane with sodium methoxide in methanol.

b. Are all the products optically active?

c. How would the products differ if the starting material were the trans isomer? Are these products optically active?

d. Will the cis enantiomers or the trans enantiomers form substitution products more rapidly?

e. Will the cis enantiomers or the trans enantiomers form elimination products more rapidly?

If 2-fluoropentane were to undergo an E1 reaction, would you expect the major product to be the more stable alkene or the less stable alkene? Explain your answer.

Amines are good nucleophiles, even though they are neutral. How would the rate of an SN2 reaction between an amine and an alkyl halide be affected if the polarity of the solvent is increased?
